I hear that Jason is supposed to run in the remake? And apparently, they're going to show his smarter side...i.e. him setting up all of his victims?

I did hear the new Jason is going to be more "agile". Remember how Jason was faster on his feet before he died (due to a machete to the face in Part 4) and became zombified (bolt o' lightning in Part 6)? I believe that's what they're going for; a faster, truly living Jason. From what I've read on Bloody-Disgusting, a set visit revealed that we will see Jason, at some point in the movie, waiting on a rooftop preparing to strike a victim down below. Usually we see him just pop out of nowhere. No preparation, just *BAM*, like an attack dog. I guess this gives us a clue that he'll at least have a somewhat formed plan when killing his victims.

IMDB.com says that, yes, there is a Hellraiser remake due out in 2009 (maybe). Clive Barker and Pascal Laugier will be the writers. As for the brothers you mentioned, well, they're no longer with the project. Aside from that nugget, there's no info on who's directing. It's something currently being worked on. People are trying hard to get this movie off the ground so I think it's safe to say it will eventually be made. When it'll be finished though is anyone's guess.
